List of health issues, fixed and unfixed

These are the conditions and annoyances I’ve attempted to solve over the past 12 years with nutritional therapy, with links to the related post if I’ve written one yet. The goal is to move everything into the “resolved” list — only occasional maintenance needed with whatever nutrient(s) caused the problem in the first place. (Although occasionally the causes change over the years.)

Please note that I did not have all of these at the same time, and some of them just made fleeting appearances now and again. Some I had before going gluten-free and some arrived after. In each post I’ve bolded whatever supplement or treatment was of help for that issue, or the main factors causing it. In all cases, I had also been taking other supplements besides the ones indicated.

Resolved: nutritional deficiency(ies) corrected and supplementation only needed every once in a while

It is quite possible that at one point you were exposed to mold, and fungal colonies have taken over your system. Fungal infections are a silent epidemic in this country. I am a victim who has symptoms very similar to yours. Normally I am anti-meds, but this disease almost always requires antifungals.

Thanks for all your information!
About me – 43 yo, menopausal since age 37, failing health since age 25, walking around in a 90 yo body & mind from poor lifestyle, nutrition & uneducated choices. Slowly improving with extreme nutrition, supplementation & lots of mistakes along the way. The only Rx I am on is a compounded bio-identical hormone cocktail. In 2006, I was taking upwards of thirty prescriptions to the tune of $42K charged to my ‘healthcare’ plan at work. Now, nine years later, I cost my company $ 980 in 2014 for an ER visit due to a collapsed lung & chest tube placement.
Eyes: MUCH improved (DISAPPEARING drusen & macular REgeneration) with BetaCarotine (50K iu), Lutein (80+mg) and Xeaxanthin daily. I was almost blind & now I still drive & work on excel spreadsheets all day.
Tinnitus MUCH improved (went from daily to once a week or so) DELETING all sugars except one piece of fruit per day and absolutely NO sugar substitutes of any kind including sugar alcohols, pink blue & yellow packets, honey, agave, dried fruit and juices. AND acupuncture for stress AND asleep by 10pm without waking until after 7am- minimum 9 hrs sleep straight thru. Returns as soon as I eat cake, donuts, bananas, pizza etc.
Insomnia is ONLY present now for me when I make myself stay awake after 10pm, eat after 7pm, have ANY caffeine and yes, even a TBSP is too much, ingest sugars or sugar substitutes, ingest any ‘diet’ ‘sugar-free’ ‘fat-free’ and/or otherwise junk-health foods, OR work more than 12 hrs in one shift
When I fulfill my daily purpose of serving my Maker, I don’t care if anyone recognizes my genius because I already know I’m a miracle walking

...a record of my successes and failures trying to solve a bunch of health annoyances without resorting to prescription drugs. I also write about news and research on the roles of nutritional deficiencies and the environment on human health, and about non-Rx health treatments I hear about. More about me...
